Pros

The only positive of this company are the people you are on the ground with. Without them I would have been gone a long time ago.

Cons

Where to start. No salary increase in 2024. 2-3% in 2025. My spending power is lower as a senior analyst than it was when I was a fresh grad 5 years ago. Multiple people are leaving for similar roles elsewhere with 30-50% pay increases. 30+ people have left with over 120 years of experience between them since December 2025 - April 2026, 13% of the total employees in the UK. It seems that leadership do not care at all about the "brain drain" as they just bring in a fresh grad to replace the senior individual, whilst retaining the same billing rates, and actually end up making more money - I feel bad for the clients in these instances. Leadership seem so busy trying to secure themselves roles within our parent organisation that they have forgotten they are meant to be managing a business. The employees on the ground here put in so much work dealing with difficult, director level stakeholders with minimal support and then get shafted in the compensation department. There is no overtime or TOIL procedure as standard and yet there are unwritten expectations that you have to work late to get the job done. Just because leadership has oversold and understaffed the project. I'm at my wits end - I am too busy with work to even apply for other jobs else I would be out of here in a heartbeat. Sort it out.

Pros

Knowledge resources and mentorship opportunities are a great fit for candidates of diverse backgrounds. Excellent culture for advancement and finding right fit roles.

Cons

Less competitive pay scale compared to industry/client equivalent roles, as a trade off for some of the other total compensation or benefit aspects.

Thank you for leaving us a 5 star review!! I'm delighted that you value our knowledge, learning and development tools and programs - accelerated career development for high-potential people is a key part of our strategy and talent philosophy. I'm also grateful that you called out our inclusivness and that people from diverse backgrounds can and will succeed at QR - we are a meritocratic organisation and if an individual works hard and embodies our company values then we will do our very best to help them succeed. I do recognise your comments on salary and that our other benefits perhaps outweigh base salary - it's something we are mindful of (particularly in America), and will bear that in mind going forward.

Pros

Great training and education. The managers are generally helpful. If you get to try multiple projects, thats great.

Cons

They have cut benefits more and more. Managers are not trained enough. They will find any excuse to not promote you. Managers need to do better. They ask for feedback and nothing ever changes.
